Bipartisan summit – complaints from both sides

Breaking: CNN’s Stunning One-Sided Coverage of Health Care Summit

The conclusion is based on a time breakdown of commercials during Obama and Dems speaking

In the first three hours televised so far, CNN interrupted:

1. Pres. Obama (D) for a Chantax / Pfizer commercial

2. Rep. Steny Hoyer (D) (entire speech) for a Liberator medical device ad as well as an ad by American Future Fund featuring a lipstick-wearing pig which advocated “Tell Congress Start Over and Get Health Care Right.”

3. Pres. Obama (D) for ads (including an ad by the Oil and Gas Industry)

4. Sen. Max Baucus (D-sorta) for ads

5. Rep. Robert Andrews (D) (entire speech) for comment

etc, etc concluding that

In a stunning display of one-sided coverage, during the first three hours of coverage of the Health Care Summit televised so far, CNN only interrupted, whether for commercial or comment, Democratic speakers.

Obama: Bipartisan health deal may not be possible

White House privately plots 2012 campaign run

After all, we are told

The planning for now consists entirely of private conversations, with Obama aides at all levels indulging occasionally in closed-door 2012 discussions while focusing ferociously on the midterm elections and health care reform, the Democratic sources said.

So, was this televised theater an attempt to distract the base from assessing Obama to hating the other guys?

Wow! “We can have a debate about process or blah blah..” reminds me of his first speech in the senate on the war in Iraq: “Who cares how we got there? Let’s see what we can go forward”
The problem is that the process is the reason we have such a dud everyone wants to kill.
